Florida adding mostly lower wage jobs, new report says

The Sunshine State is once again growing faster than the nation, but is gaining mostly lower-wage jobs, a new economic outlook released Wednesay by Wells Fargo economists says.

Even with three years of job growth, there are 7.0 percent fewer jobs in Florida today than there were prior to the recession.

The average wage of the jobs being created is considerably less than the average of the jobs that were lost during the recession.

While hiring has picked up across most industries, it is being led by gains in Florida's hospitality sector, Wells Fargo says. Restaurants, hotels and tourist attractions have added 40,500 net new jobs over the past year.
